Note: If the author fails to send the statement of authenticity within the deadline set by the editorial staff, he reserves the right not to publish the article even if the author has received the publishing permission.
- The manuscript should contain sufficient details and references to allow others to reproduce the work. Knowingly made fraudulent or inaccurate statements constitute unethical behavior and are therefore unacceptable.
